. Also Barron's translation is good. "Though things arise, none of them has any independent nature whatsoever", where does it say "whatsoever" in the Tibetan? But no question, i and longchen rabjampa are "rubbish" ))))))), we "rub" you (the wrong way)... )))) it is suppose to help.... I was only po...
